Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Ground beef
• 0.5 lbs Ground pork
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 3 tbsp Maple syrup
• 2 tbsp Fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 1.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 3 tbsp Ketchup
• 2 tbsp Maple syrup (for glaze)
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the milk.

Step 3

Add the ground beef, ground pork, eggs, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, sage, garlic, onion, salt, and black pepper to the breadcrumb mixture. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.

Step 4

Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared baking sheet or loaf pan, shaping it into a loaf approximately 9x5 inches.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and Dijon mustard to create the glaze.

Step 6

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf, using a spoon or pastry brush.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 160°F (71°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.

Step 8

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
